The emerald green bamboo leaves kept rustling in the wind, and the sunlight shone on the bamboo leaves, casting a strange shadow on the green. The usual crisp and clear chirping of birds was gone.
Jian Xiao stood in front of the Xiaoxiang Tower. Before she went in, she felt that the atmosphere today was very strange. She glanced at Yueyue, who nodded and walked in cautiously.
"Ouch! Concubine Jian is so arrogant. Why did I wait so long before I saw a little devil!" Concubine Gong Xian's mocking voice came out.
"Oh, I didn't see the magpie early this morning. I just heard the crow. It's such an unlucky sign for Yue Yue. No one will come as a guest?" Jian Xiao walked in and saw Yue Yue standing aside and Concubine Gong Xian sitting there.
There, Jian Xiao smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Concubine Gong Xian? Do you have something important to come to my Xiaoxiang Tower?"
Concubine Gong Xian had long heard Jian Xiao's sarcasm and rolled her eyes, "Concubine Jian is back. I'm already busy with the Sixth Palace. Why do you, an idler, keep me waiting like this?"
"That's right, Concubine Xian is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, why do you still have time to come to my Xiaoxiang Building to get together?" Jian Xiao looked at Yueyue, "Hurry and serve Concubine Xian some good tea. I don't know why Concubine Xian is here today.
What's the matter?"
"Oh, I haven't heard your Majesty talk about your concubine for a long time, so I came to see how you are doing," Concubine Gong Xian said.
"Concubine Lao Xian is thinking about me, I'm still alive." Jian Xiao gave Yueyue a look, and Yueyue walked into the room.
After a while, Yueyue took out an emerald green plum vase from inside and said, "Madam, I'm going to pick two bamboo leaves!"
"Why do you have this plum vase?" Concubine Gong Xian said nervously
Jian Xiao glanced at Concubine Gong Xian, "Oh, if I remember correctly, the empress should also have one? Has it been a long time since I received the last message? Or has it been a long time since I hung up the plum vase?" Her plum vase is specially made from
It was taken out by Kunning Palace just for emergencies.
Concubine Gong Xian's expression changed, "You...hum, what kind of bullshit is this? I am the crown prince's concubine. Who else will the future queen mother take seriously?"
"Yes!" Jian Xiao said calmly, "What are you afraid of, my dear? The Dukes of Wei are all guarding the ancestral hall. The founding fathers of the Biga Kingdom can see clearly in the ancestral hall of the Dukes of Wei."
Jian Xiao deliberately emphasized the words "Wei Guogong Temple"
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Concubine Gong Xian became a little restless and asked, "What do you know?"
Jian Xiao spread her hands and changed the subject, "What can I know? Could it be that Concubine Xian did something?"
This sentence made Concubine Gong Xian choke back. She turned to look at Mei Ping and kept staring. After a while, she asked quietly, "Are you hers too?"
Jian Xiao didn't answer and just said this to her. Jian Xiao knew that what Concubine Gong Xian did to her was not what Shang Feng had indicated. When Jian Xiao took out the plum vase, she was obviously at a loss.
Jian Xiao stood up and brought the brewed tea to Concubine Gong Xian, "After chatting for a long time, it's time to get down to business. Concubine Xian, what do you want to do when you come to Xiaoxiang Tower today?"
Concubine Gong Xian's eyes suddenly widened and she stared at Jian Xiao's cuffs, where half green and half gold earrings were exposed. Although she couldn't see clearly, they were very similar to the ones she had lost in the Weiguogong Temple, and she thought of Jian Xiao.
When she mentioned the name, Concubine Gong Xian felt that all her feelings that night had been discovered by Jian Xiao.
Jian Xiao closed the cuffs of her sleeves and sat back down, "Your Majesty, drink tea."
Concubine Gong Xian stood up in a hurry, knocked over her tea cup, wet her sleeves, and said in a panic: "I still have to take a step in advance and come back to discuss matters with the concubine another day."
Jian Xiao nodded, "Then Concubine Xian, walk slowly and see her off not far away!"
Concubine Gong Xian hurried back to Guiyue Palace, "Find Tianjiao for me!"
After a while Tianjiao came over and asked, "What are your instructions from the Concubine Xian?"
"Did you find what I asked you to look for?" Concubine Gong Xian asked.
"Going back to your Majesty, Tianjiao turned the entire Weiguo Gong Temple upside down and couldn't find the earrings that your Majesty mentioned. Is it possible that it was lost somewhere else?"
Concubine Gong Xian nodded lightly. Although she found that her earrings were lost on the way back to the palace after having fun with Gao Tianduo that day, she might have lost them on the road. "Then Jian Xiao should not be the one," Concubine Gong Xian said to herself.
"Have you met Concubine Jian?" Tianjiao heard Jian Xiao's name, "I also met Concubine Jian that day."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Gong Xian frowned and became nervous.
"I also met Concubine Jian at the Temple of Duke Wei. She was cleaning the place. She said she was praying for Duke Wei to protect the country..."
"It's over, it's over..." Concubine Gong Xian couldn't listen to what Tianjiao said anymore. She only had one thought in her mind. Jian Xiao must have discovered something, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to that place where birds don't poop to pray for protection.
Seeing the sweat on Concubine Gong Xian's forehead, Tianjiao wondered if an earring could make her so nervous? "Mother, what's wrong with you? Is it too hot?"
Now that Jian Xiao already knows, what about Shang Feng? Jian Xiao is easy to handle, but Shang Feng is not ordinary. If she knows about her affair with Gao Tianduo, her good days will come to an end!
No, my child is the future emperor. I can't give up just like this. Concubine Gong Xian nodded lightly on her forehead. Jian Xiao has already taken action. It must be Shangfeng's will. She can't sit back and wait for death.
"Tianjiao, it's time to show your Majesty something!" Concubine Gong Xian said coldly.
Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, "Didn't I say we would talk about it after a while?"
"If you are asked to do it, just do it! What nonsense!" Concubine Gong Xian quickly issued an eviction order.
"Yes!" Tianjiao hurriedly exited.
Zhang Qin was sitting in the imperial study room reading, reading some legendary biographies written by the people. He accidentally turned the page and saw Tianjiao standing furtively at the door, holding a baggage in his hand.
"Tianjiao..." Zhang Qin shouted in a long voice, "What are you doing sneakily, you little brat?"
Tianjiao walked in and said, "Your Majesty!"
"What are you holding in your hand?" Zhang Qin asked next
"Hey, I know His Majesty is good at reading books, so Tianjiao specially found a few books from the street. The bookseller said that these are the most popular books at the moment." Tianjiao opened the bag.
Zhang Qin put down the book in his hand and took a look at "The Secret History of the Palace". He picked it up and asked, "What is this?"
"It says it contains the secret history of the harem of the previous dynasty. It's very interesting." Tianjiao Shen said mysteriously, "There is also this book."
Zhang Qin took a look at "A Glance of Spring" and asked, "What is this?" He flipped through it casually. Unexpectedly, there were several illustrations of erotic scenes inside. He smiled, "Tianjiao, how dare you bring me this kind of book?"
?”
Tianjiao knelt down, "The person who bought the book only said that the book was good-looking and didn't say anything about what's here. Tianjiao will go back now and deal with him well!"
Zhang Qin raised his hand and said, "Forget it, this is also a way to understand the sentiments of the people. Step back!"
When Tianjiao saw Zhang Qin starting to read, he pursed his lips and slowly stepped back. He glanced at Zhang Qin secretly, but saw that Zhang Qin's face gradually became cautious from the relaxed one at the beginning, until it became more and more colorful.
